Wreck The Tape Deck

here’s a slick video from the amazing if somewhat bookwormish Passion Pit for the single To Kingdom Come. they’re hitting Terminal 5 tonight and tomorrow and Sunday, although everything is all sold out, so if you big bullies want to beat them up for being such geeks, then you’ll have to wait for them out back in the alley. these guys are total, TOTAL dorks, but i have to admit that i wish i was as cool as them.

The Arctic Monkeys – A Certain Romance

The Arctic Monkeys arrive in New York tonight, bringing 30 degree temperatures with them. Fuck you Arctic A-holes. Why can’t you be the Flaming Apes or the Scorching Gorillas? I’m finally jealous of you sun baked Angelenos. Anyway they’re playing tonight and tomorrow with the Screaming Females at Terminal 5. Get your tickets here because… there’s not much else going on so why not?

The Submarines‘ new video for Submarine Symphonika is so cute it makes me want to do something truly horrific just to even out the tao a little. director Josh Forbes also made the awesome video for Peace and Hate, and he has a ton more music videos available for your perusal at his Winch&Pulley site, including videos for Sea Wolf, Cold War Kids, Ariel Pink, Alkaline Trio, and a ton more. (this one for Trouble is a Friend from hipster cutie Lenka is pretty slick, although you might want to turn down the volume and just watch the illustrations. oooh, burn!)

And it’s daunting… the schedule page for this year’s CMJ festival is just a mess, there’s an incredible amount of performers all week and the best way to narrow it down into something coherent is to pick a favorite venue and see what’s happening there all week. Here are some manageable schedules listed by venues I recommend:

Le Poisson Rouge (featuring Atlas Sound, The Very Best, Choir of Young Believers, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Miles Benjamin Anthony Davis)
The Music Hall of Williamsburg (featuring The Antlers, Fanfarlo, Atlas Sound, The xx)
Bowery Electric (featuring Angry vs. The Bear, Black Taxi)
Bowery Ballroom (featuring Fanfarlo, Midnight Juggernauts, Dolorean)
B.B. King’s Blues Club (featuring Raekwon, Busta Rhymes, Styles P and Kids in the Hall)
The Knitting Factory (featuring Miles Benjamin Anthony Davis, Wild Yaks)
Mercury Lounge (featuring The xx, Mumford and Sons, Dutchess and The Duke, Moondoggies)
Cake Shop (featuring Crystal Antlers, Kittens Ablaze)

BEST BAND NAME (involving cute animals burning): Care Bears on Fire
RUNNER UP: Kittens Ablaze

WTF is happening!? Why are there so many colors? All of this stuff happens within the course of 4 hours?? AHHHHHH why are kittens on fire!?!?!!

Still need help deciding? I understand, this is one of those moments where you’re presented with so many choices that you literally freeze up, go into shock mode, wet yourself, burn a kitten or 2 and end up doing nothing. Well Pitchfork also tries to make sense of things with their guide to CMJ here but beware, it’s still massive and somewhat confusing. Just change your trousers and get out there people.
